Hubbell has raised more than $3 million, Boulton Boulton $1.1 million

Hubbell, a Des Moines businessman and one of seven Democrats vying to be the party’s candidate for governor in this fall’s general election, has individual donors in each of Iowa’s 99 counties, the campaign said.

Of the more than $3 million Hubbell raised in 2017, nearly all of it — 99.8 percent — came from individual donors, and more than 80 percent came from Iowans, the campaign said.
